Gas Fireplaces at Thompson's Hearth & Home offer the ultimate in convenience and modern comfort—simply flip a switch (or let your thermostat take control) for instant, beautiful flames without the hassle of wood, ash, or chimney cleaning.

Our premium gas fireplaces have evolved dramatically in recent years, featuring realistic flames and glowing embers that closely mimic a traditional wood fire. Designed for seamless integration into your home's structure, they're an ideal choice whether you're building a new home or remodeling an existing one.

One of the biggest advantages here in the Pacific Northwest is reliable heat during power outages. All of our gas fireplaces operate safely and efficiently without electricity—the controls, ignition, and operation function independently of household current, keeping your home warm when the power goes out.

What truly sets Thompson's apart is our expertise in advanced venting solutions. We specialize in computer-controlled dampers and fans that enable open-view gas fireplaces without glass doors, delivering an authentic, unobstructed flame experience. We can route venting creatively—including through side walls—options typically limited to direct-vent models.

Gas Fireplace vs. Gas Insert: What's the Difference?

• Gas Fireplace: Built directly into your home's framing or structure. Perfect for new construction or major remodels where you can design the fireplace from the ground up.

• Gas Insert: Retrofits into an existing wood-burning fireplace opening. If you don't already have a traditional masonry or zero-clearance wood fireplace, an insert isn't an option.

Why Choose Thompson's? Our Commitment to Quality Installation

Surprisingly, Washington state doesn't require fireplace installers to hold industry-specific certifications—only a general contractor's license, bonding, and insurance. While certification isn't mandatory, it's a mark of true expertise.

At Thompson's Hearth & Home, we're proudly NFI-certified (National Fireplace Institute—the only nationally recognized certification program in the U.S.). We're one of the few NFI-certified retailers in the area, and we handle all installations and service with our own highly trained employees—no subcontractors.
